Q: Profile Manager - Reminders missing

Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to include Reminders within a user profile ?

There is only the Calendars settings (and normally Reminders should comes along) but when the profile is installed, the Reminder's check box in the iCal account in Internet Accounts is missing :-(((

 

Note : My server is well configurated because if I add the Calendars manually (not using a profile) then Reminders ar sho

 

Thanks

    The same problem here. Config: OS X v10.11.4, Server 5.1. I suppose, the Profile Manager is not the reason for this problem. If you create a configuration profile with Apple Configurator 2, there is also no "reminders" option when installing the profile on a Mac client. It seems, it has to do with El Capitan itself. Has anyone tested this issue with pre-10.11.3-versions?

    The only workaround is to create a the account a second time in "Internet Accounts", manually. The Mac will not allow to create the account exactly the same way. You have to use another hostname or the IP address of your server.

    Hi,

    I have the same issue since I've done a clean install with 10.11.0 on my Mac.

    On the MacBook of my wife, migrated from 10.10 to 10.11 (now 10.11.4), I have the checkbox for Reminders in the control Panel.

    Regards

    This different behavior is really interesting. Are you sure your wife's Mac has not a (second) manually installed calendar account? Do both Macs (yours and that of your wife) use the same configuration profile? Can it be possible that Yosemite did something El Capitan is in need of for the configuration profiles work properly?!?

     

    Best regards.

    Thank you for your reply.
    As I said before I have already found a workaround in installing the calendars manually on each Mac.

    That way I do have the check boxes for reminders available.

    But what I really need is to install reminders along with calendars by installing a user profile on each Mac of the network.

    Hi,

    Yes, both client computers are configured with the same group profile. This profile is defined on my server (10.10.5 running server.app 5.0.15) that has not yet been migrated to El Capitan. I was already using this profile to broadcast payloads when my client computers were running Yosemite and every thing was fine.

    I think that the MacBook is properly set because of the legacy of the previous configuration of Yosemite as long as my MacMini doesn't have this legacy. Form me El Capitan is the problem.

    I'm using the same profile  with my iOS devices : 2 iPad Air 2 (iOS 9.3.1), 2 iPhone 6 (iOS 9.3.1), iPad 2 and 3 ...

    I've try some workaround without success. My payloads for caldav are defined using the checkbox "Use the default settings for <My Computers>" in the server.app. I've tried to defined manually the payloads with the same result.

    Regards
